Available API Products

Since the API is a method to give more control over the design of the
data, we don’t create API templates outside of the Private Label
solution since this defeats the purpose of using a “raw” data
interface or XML based API.

You have full control over how you wish your pages to be designed with
your own branding and we offer these programs solely for this purpose.

When you use the EAN APIs, you are fully responsible for your own
application:

This means that all programming you receive for free by using the
Private Label template must be done yourself.

All user interaction, logic, error handling, and user experience
controls must be programmed into your own application.

You are responsible for all of your own programming, debugging and
data accuracy.

Any products NOT listed above are not available. All available API
products are outlined.

Expedia/Hotels.com/Travelnow/EAN: How do they all fit together?

Expedia.com is the website brand.

Hotels.com is another brand owned by Expedia which operates on its own
technology.

Travelnow.com is also its own brand owned by Expedia. and is the
technology that powers EAN affiliate operations, including the use of
an affiliate template system as well as API services.

EAN operates independently of Expedia (as does Hotels.com) and is a
separate technology system accessing Expedia hotel inventory as a
product for affiliates to sell within their own systems. EAN affiliates
cannot connect to Expedia or Hotels.com and must operate within the EAN
technology system in it’s entirety in order to track sales and earn
commissions.
